Editorial Reviews

Review

The Billiard Guidebook, finally, an all-encompassing book for anyone wanting to learn about billiards. I wholeheartedly recommend it. -- Keith Colby, Arizona Billiards

This book is a handy and informative book. It is expertly organized and full of maintenance procedures, helpful hints, and pertinent illustrations. -- Jack Baker, Indoor Outdoor Sports, Memphis Indiana

This book is the most comprehensive source of information concerning billiard table maintenance, cloth, cushion, slate replacement, and game fundamentals. -- Craig Connelly, Connelly Billiard Manufacturing, Inc.

This book should be required reading for anyone in the business, or anyone wanting to learn anything about billiards. -- Rick Spellman, The Billiard Store, Phoenix Arizona

From the Publisher

The Billiard Guidebook is the only billiard maintenance book available. All other billiard books are written by players and cover playing or trick shots only. Mose Duane is a table mechanic first and a pool player second. The book is a full rack of a billiard mechanic's knowledge, offering Tricks of the Trade, Caution, and Words of Experience sidebars that will be of interest to anyone.

More About the Author

I was born in Indianapolis years ago. I grew up on the east side of Columbus, Indiana and attended Columbus North High.

After three years in the US Army's 101 airborne division jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and working on Huey helicopters, I married, had two daughters, and then attended Indiana University's School of Business in Bloomington, Indiana.

After IU, I opened a 24 table poolroom in Columbus where I played on, sold, and serviced a variety of new, used, and antique pool tables.

In 1982, we moved to Arizona where I remain in the pool table service and repair business, and continue to play.

I now have four billiard related books available on amazon.com with a novel (pool and mayhem) on its way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to know about Billiards?, November 17, 2000

This review is from: The Billiard Guidebook (Paperback)
The Billiard Guidebook is a must have if you own or plan to own a billiard table. This book contains information covering every aspect of moving, assembling, re-felting, and playing on your billiard table. I just bought a used pool table and wish I would have read this book before hand. It would have saved me hundreds of dollars!! I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about billiards.

This review is from: The Billiard Guidebook (Paperback)
What a fantastic book! I recovered my table in ajust a couple of hours saving from having to pay someone to do it. Not to mention this books talks about all types of tables including disassembly, moving and re-assembling as well as table maintenance, fantastic. Well worth the price. This book explains 8-ball, 9-ball and other types of billiard games as well as grip, english and more details into some of the more advanced shots of the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original!, October 19, 2000
By 
L. Summitt (Clear Creek, Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Billiard Guidebook (Paperback)
This book's scope is ambitious. I wasn't sure I understood what that phrase meant until I bought The Billiard Guidebook. If there's anything you want to know about pool and billiards, here it is. It is much better written than those that have already copied from it. This is the orginial. If you are looking for a book that covers anything and everything billiards and pool, this is the one. Don't let its size turn you off. It is well written, easy to read, and has great illustrations. Go for it. I did and I loved it.
